Saudi Arabia

Don’t throw MBS under the bus

The Saudi Crown Prince isn’t a democrat or a strategic savior, but don’t give the evil leaders of Turkey and Iran a victory by weakening US-Saudi ties.

What a Crown Prince Wants

Funds and favor for Saudi Arabia 2.0, and also to smash Iran.

Skeptical of the Saudis

Israel should not bear-hug the problematic Saudis, nor fall prey to over-enthusiastic fantasies. Don’t assume that MBS is the answer to Israel’s prayers in facing-down Iran.
